A camera monitoring the Kilauea volcano in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park was engulfed by lava and ash during an eruption on Saturday, knocking it offline. The US Geological Survey (USGS) captured footage showing the camera malfunctioning before its feed was cut. Kilauea, one of the world's most active volcanoes, has been erupting intermittently since December of last year. The eruption included lava fountains reaching heights of up to 30 meters (100 feet). The USGS was using the camera to observe and record the volcanic activity.
